> @NavidZ where is it said that pointer event listeners would be passive?
You are right they are not passive. Perhaps what I'm remembering is not having a blocking default action (mainly around scrolling behavior as Chrome was very much concerned about scrolling performance) as outlined in this [table](https://w3c.github.io/pointerevents/#attributes-and-default-actions).
> @NavidZ Perhaps I misunderstood. It looks like even passing {passive: false} and calling preventDefault() on the events does not prevent anything? https://output.jsbin.com/dotowic

I see. This is probably confirming the above paragraph regarding default action. They don't have the scrolling interruptible default action as opposed to [touch events](https://w3c.github.io/touch-events/#cancelability).
